Definitions
- the invention relates to a method as recited in the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a system arranged for implementing a method as recited in the preamble of claim 1.
- HAVi Home Audio/Video Interoperability
- IEEE1394 IEEE1394 bus
- a DCM for a HAVi controller device will be running a HAVi execution environment and will be installed on the controller device itself.
- a DCM for a controlled device will not run such environment and will be installed on some controller device in the network other than the controlled device itself.
- a controller device may execute more than one Device Control Module for various controlled devices that are present in the network.
- the Device Control Module management system will usually install a Device Control Module for a particular controlled device on a controller device upon detecting the presence in the network of the controlled device, which is typically when the controlled device will become attached to or activated on the network. Thereafter, Device Control Module will remain installed until the controlled device is either deactivated or removed from the network, or until an "uninstall" command, for example through a user person, for that particular Device Control Module will be sent to the Device Control Module management system.
- each controller device is given the opportunity to indicate whether or not it can install a Device Control Module for the controlled device in question.
- the state of the art has offered no possibility to indicate a preferred degree of quality of service by a Device Control Module that is eventually installed.
- a particular controller device will only signal that it can host the new controlled device if it can effectively install any Device Control Module for the specific controlled device or device model.
- the inventors have recognized a need to cope with the situation where no specific Device Control Module is present in the system for a particular controlled device.
- the invention also relates to a multi-station system being arranged for implementing a method as claimed in Claim 1. Further advantageous aspects of the invention are recited in dependent Claims.
- Fig. 1 a set-up structure of a multiple-station network
- Fig. 2 an operational flow chart for practicing the invention.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a set-up structure of a multiple-station network.
- the intercommunication network is embodied as a communication bus 20, that interconnects two controller stations 22, 24, and two controlled device stations 26, 28.
- the bus may without express or implied limitation be based on the IEEE 1394 network protocol. This protocol is herein considered state of the art and will in consequence not be discussed extensively.
- the controlled device stations may in effect represent audio/video consumer products, household appliances, sub-controllers for various household apparatuses such as environment (water, air, lighting) conditioning, gateways to other networks, or even devices in a professional setting such as medical.
- the controller device stations may be appropriate further audio/video consumer products, personal computers, and other.
- each controller device comprises a local Device Control Module manager 32, 38 that provides the organizational infrastructure for managing the controlling operations pertaining to the controlled device stations.
- controller device 24 has a specific control module DVHS1 Device Control Module, which under enabling by inputs from local manager 38 and through connection 42 that runs on bus 20, exchanges controls with controlled device 26. In this case the control is specifically tailored to the needs and facilities of controlled device 26.
- controller device 22 has a generic control module DVHS DCM, which under enabling by inputs from manager 32 and through connection 40 that runs on bus 20 exchanges controls with controlled device 28.
- the control is generically approximated to the needs and facilities of a large class of controlled devices of which controlled device 28 is a representative, but for which particular device no specific control module is available.
- controller device 22 has available a Device Probing Application or DPA 34 that will search in the system for existence of a generic control module.
- the DPA 34 will then activate manager 32 for the installing of generic control module 30 for control of the controlled device 28.
- the specific Device Control Module that is probed for may be present in system memory means not shown.
- a Device Control Module may be derived from Internet or from another applicable source entity. This would apply to the generic as well as to the specific module.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a stationary situation as regards the overall control pattern. The differences in the level of facilities that the generic versus the specific control module would offer are various. An optical disc-based device could be controlled in read-only mode by the generic module, whereas the specific module would also allow writing.
- programmability of the read operation multi-speed driving versus two-speed driving, trick modes, multi-channel operation versus one- or two-channel only, and various other facilities could be offered by the specific control module. Some or all of these facilities could then be absent from the generic control module. Similar aspects would apply in the case of programmable tuners, environmental actuators, medical sub-stations and many other instances. Also non-HAVi systems could implement similar facilities. Another level of quality could relate to the precise matching of commands between the controlled device and the control module so that no conversion would be necessary. On the other hand, a generic control module could effectively control a broader range of controlled device categories or models, such as both disc storage and tape storage devices, or rather a range of both older device versions and newer device versions, etcetera.
- the HAVi DCM management system will indicate through a network-wide event that no Device Control Module could be installed for some controlled device if each controller device has indicated that it has no specific Device Control Module available for the controlled device in question.
- This situation will according to the present invention now allow a specific application running on a controller device to take alternative action.
- the earlier HAVi specification did not discuss such alternative actions.
- the new application is the Device Probing Application DPA referred to supra.
- a controlled device for which a Device Control Module is to be installed by the Device Control Module management system is called a guest.
- a controller device that is able to install a Device Control Module for the guest in question is called an actual or potential host.
- a DPA on some HAVi controller device will investigate whether there is a "second choice” Device Control Module available for the guest in question.
- This "second choice” DCM here also referred to as generic, more generic, or less specific DCM, maybe located on the own controller device of the DPA or on a remote controller device. If found, the DPA will instruct the HAVi DCM management system to install this Device Control Module for the guest in question. In coordination with the Device Control Module manager on the potential host, it is now indicated during the host selection procedure that the host in question may install this Device Control Module for the guest, and thereafter be selected as a device controller for the guest.
- Various variations and extensions to the above are feasible for extending and refining the basic approach of the present invention, as follows:
- a particular DPA may communicate with one or more DP As that are located on one or more other controllers to find the best matching "second choice" generic Device Control Module for a particular guest, which second choice would then also imply the best host.
- a generic Device Control Module maybe effected through using a decision tree, wherein the actual model of the controlled device, the existence of broader model categories of the same controlled device, and/or device control protocols may serve as parameters for finding the best Device Control Module candidate. For example, each successive branching of the tree could make a decision as based on a specific subset of the various service parameters, for so rendering the decision process hierarchical and straightforward. Note that the tree need not be binary. - The suitability of a particular Device Control Module for controlling a particular guest device can be built either into the controller device or the DPA, or rather into a Device Control Module itself.
- a DPA may interrogate a set of DCMs as to the control level or refinement which they can offer to a particular guest. Eventually, the Device Control Module offering the highest degree of control may then be selected. In particular, the DPA could determine respective levels of relevance.
- Fig. 2 illustrates an operational flow chart for practicing the invention.
- the system is activated and the necessary hardware and software facilities are assigned.
- a change of the actual configuration is detected. Effectively but not actually shown as such, this block represents a waiting loop.
- block 54 it is detected whether this change pertained to a new controlled device, to a controlled device removal, or to an umnstall command for a Device Control Module. If negative, in block 60 the removal or uninstall is effected, and the system reverts to block 52. If positive however, in block 56 the system checks whether a specific Device Control Module is present for the controlled device in question. If found, in block 58 the Device Control Module is installed and/or assigned to the new controlled device, and the system reverts to block 52.
- the Device Probing Application probes for existence of a generic control module. If found (block 64, Y), in block 66 the install/assign operations are effected and the system reverts to block 52. If negative in block 66, the system goes to block 68 for signaling a failure, whereupon a user may take corrective actions or the like, and the system reverts to block 52. Note that the flow chart has been simplified in various degrees, such as in ignoring the leaving of the flow chart.
